The Piano Room

A true KC gem.  Small and dive-y (but clean!) with friendly staff and even friendlier drink prices.  No food, just a bar, but it's a great place to hang out and chill.  We go every Monday night for the live jazz combo who are terrific.

A crazy gem!  

It's sad that when people see "piano room" , they probably think dueling piano bar.  THIS IS NOT THE PIANO ROOM.   It's a Piano Bar with a singing duo (one behind the piano, one behind the bar). They take requests. They poor strong drinks and are SO friendly.

I love the motto on their website, " A touch of class in Waldo" .  Class isn't about the what's on the surface. It's about what's in your heart and the piano room has got it! Now, go get some!

If you like dive bars and talent this is the place to be. Heather is essentially in charge of all forms of entertainment, serving drinks WHILE singing. A distinguished gentlemen tickles the ivories and belts out the classics as well. The crowd here ranges from the geriatrics to the young and stupid, all (for the most part) lovely company. I've been here a handful of times and have always had a good time, from having a random Snuggie party come through, to a senior citizen Santa vs. Reindeer party being taken over by an ugly sweater party taking a party bus around the city. It's all in the spirit of the season!

(Oh and I TOO thought this place was an actual piano store for the longest time, I would often pass it on my way to Bobby Baker's.)
